I feel moved to record my objection to this application as: - The is a NEW runway and should be treated as such in the planning process. LHR were chosen for airport expansion not LGW - the Gov't never identified the need for 2 new runways so LGW should just accept this - especially as it is widely considered that there is a climate emergency! - The local infrastructure just cannot support the expansion of this site - If LGW were playing a "straight bat" any new runway would not logically be parallel to the existing runway - trying to game the system and rebuild the emergency runway will ensure increased noise & pollution over a concentrated area
